I'm obviously missing something. Why's that funny? Does one need to
recognise the original song (which I didn't)?

That'll be it. The song is 'Hey Ya' by Outkast and is played to death on
the radio so I'm amazed you haven't heard it.
You probably *have* heard it but erased it from memory upon realising there
was no gratuitous guitar solo.

I hardly ever listen to radio stations that play music. J Ross on R2
on a Sat morning, and occasionally a bit of late night John Peel, but
that's about it.

>You probably *have* heard it but erased it from memory upon realising there
>was no gratuitous guitar solo.

Possible, of course, but unlikely - I almost never forget a song once
I've heard it (musically, not lyrically, speaking).

I suppose you'd have to like or be familiar with the original to see the
joke. As it is, I haven't a clue what the original is, so the joke falls
flat and all I can see is a fairly bad animation with a crap song.

Oh - I thought the animation was *superb* - for Flash (or whatever it is) -
(Where's Porl when you need him?)

FWIW it's a humorous & topical interpretation of an already humorous top-10
song with some excellent animation.

If you had heard the song or seen the video for the Hey Ya track by
Outkast then you would know. I mean the track has only been number one
in the US for over 4 weeks and in the Top 10 in the UK. The album is
also very good IMO.

Try listening to Paul Gambaccini's Radio 2 show on a Saturday evening -
that should just fall within your listening remit.

Not my usual bag but I enjoyed the album too.

Bamboo (track 10 on CD1) cracked me up. Presumably D-Boi's 3yr old son

For someone who enjoys taking a contrary position on some things (e.g.
not joining in the rat race) you can be pretty condescending, y'know.

Hmm. Sat evening doesn't really fit my "listening to the radio"

You can't forget this one, if only for the line "shake it like a
polaroid picture" in the bridge, to which a rather straightlaced
colleague remarked "but I thought one shook it like a tail feather".

You probably had to be there... ;o)

Made me go back and listen to their Stonkonia CD...I'd forgotten about
their BOB song (Bombs over Baghdad) - the Gulf clearly hitting a raw
nerve for them.

Mind you, the lyrics don't seem to have that much to do with Bombing
Baghdad, although at te end they're going on bout Bob your head, rag
top. Which is *apparently* about convertibles. But I draw a different
conclusion.

Blah di blah, wibble flip, ding a dong...

I only learn the lines I have to sing backing vocals to. Honestly, I
have *no* idea what Phil (our singer) is singing 90% of the time.

eh? Why? It seems to me that the lyrics only play a pheriperal part

Ah yes - I was forgetting you play in a pub-rock covers band!

I suppose that's why you're a guitarist? Well that and the fact it's
the most phallic instrument in a band.

It could be argued that its actually the equivalent of reading, but not
looking at the pictures.

Not listening to lyrics is actually the equivalent of reading, but not
looking at the pictures, because it is.

Interesting, actually I think you might have something there. Nicely
argued by the way.

I think it varies hugely. Even if you just take pure pop, think of
Ebeneezer - E's are good was a pure lyrics message that played a big
part in the song's popularity. And think Queen - and all the sad sacks
who know all the words to Bohemian Rhapsody, Another one bites the
dust, etc. Or take Pulp, and Common People, or Radiohead's I'm a creep
etc etc etc. And that's without thinking of other genres. I'd agree if
it ws only heavy metal you were talking about.
